PilatesCan undo the Damage Done at Work

If you’re like most people living the modern day lifestyle in an office-driven world, you might spend up to 8-10 hours a day sitting down. With TV, computers and other devices invading the home, the effect on your posture and bone health can be devastating. Everyone understands that spending their waking hours sitting down in front of a screen will damage their health, so what can they do to reverse the effects?

Feel Good Again Through Improved Flexibility

Being flexible, strong and functionally mobile is a feeling that changes your life. Apart from just feeling great, a healthy range of motion in your major joints and postural strength can prevent injury when performing physical exercise, including household chores.

How Can Pilates Undo The Damage

The remedy is simple: move more, sit less. Pilates is an exercise science based regimen of systematic, applied movement that can assist you in both loosening up some and strengthening other muscles by activating and stretching them with the purpose of building balanced functional strength. Pilates can target the deep core and postural abdominal muscles to straighten out the damage done by sitting, which is often exacerbated by a weak core. Pilates provides both length and strength to the entire spine, thus enhancing this beautifully designed natural mechanism’s ability to create real core stability.

Pilates uses physical apparatus to specifically target important postural muscles that are shortened and atrophied by sitting for extended periods. Pilates apparatus, guided by an experienced, qualified Pilates instructor, are specifically designed to avoid aggravating pain points by supporting and relaxing part of the body while targeting other parts.

Many Pilates Client success stories have shown that just a few minutes a day of the right Pilates exercises, prescribed by the a qualified and experienced Pilates instructor can unlock tightening muscles and iron out curvatures in the spine, to bring back pain free mobility.

My husband and I have been attending sessions with PilatesCan for more than ten years almost continuously. Our instructor, one of the owners, is outstanding. Her ability to identify even apparently minute issues in posture, movement and technique is unbelievable. She is also then able to quickly offer an exercise which targets the appropriate parts of the body to deliver results. All from memory! Her knowledge, currency, and advice is excellent.

I have been a client at PilatesCan for over a decade. I simply cannot recommend this team highly enough. They are excellent in full health, facilitating flexibility and core fitness, and fantastic with injuries too. I have experienced everything they offer from one on one, to semi private group sessions to mat classes. Try them out, they care. You won't be disappointed

As an ontological coach, I understand that a person's fundamental way of being in the world is impacted on by the alignment, fluidity and strength of his or her body. PilatesCan are experts in helping each client become adept in the development of their own body, with the inevitable flow-on benefits for increased strength and fitness, and reduced physical and emotional stress. PilatesCan has helped me to deal with the challenges of multiple injuries and fibromyalgia, allowing me to maintain a high level of health and wellbeing when I may otherwise have 'given in to my fate.' I cannot recommend Claire and her team highly enough.

Highly professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff working from beautiful studios in two convenient locations. The staff have worked closely with me to effectively manage pre-exisiting conditions and a pregnancy. They even reviewed my MRI results and tailored a program to build up my strength to significantly reduce pain. Every week, my back is checked to tweak the program to what my body needs that day. Explanations are given as to why a certain exercise will help and what muscles it is targeting. Thank you Pilates Can for your dedication to your clients and your flexibility to reschedule when life gets in the way.

For more than 2 years I thoroughly enjoyed my weekly semi-private classes at PilatesCanManuka. I have some lower back issues, but Claire and Trudy always managed to put me back together again. Their repertoire of exercises and adaptations to suit everyone’s abilities and needs are amazing. I have moved overseas now but truly miss them.
